I have given up on LiveJournal,
the first host of my blog, for reasons that some will doubtlessly regard as irrational. We will see how irrational my rationale proves to be as the country of LiveJournal’s new owner (since the start of 2008) continues to be more and more hostile to the United States.

I want to thank my Web site host, Hostway, for also providing WordPress as the means by which I can set up a new home for my blog.
